Changes: Irish National Quidditch team

Revision as of 18:30, 12 September 2010

The Irish National Quidditch team played in the final match of the 1994 Quidditch World Cup against Bulgaria. Troy scored the first goal of the match. After another two Irish goals, Bulgaria registered their opening score. Then Ireland's Seeker Aidan Lynch was fooled by Krum's Wronski Feint, but managed to continue play after the aid of some mediwizards. Fifteen minutes later Ireland had stretched their lead to 130-10, when their Chaser Mullet was fouled by the Bulgarian Keeper and was awarded a penalty. This led to anarchy, with another penalty being awarded to Ireland and referee Hassan Mostafa being distracted by the Veela (Bulgaria's mascots). Quigley sent a Bludger towards Krum which broke his nose. Lynch then spotted the Snitch, but was beaten in the race for it by Krum. Despite this, Ireland still ran out the victors. The final score was 170-160. The Irish team performed a lap of honour before being presented with the Quidditch World Cup in the stadium's Top Box (Lynch had to be supported by Moran and Connolly). Troy and Quigley lifted the trophy. All of the members of the team were riding new Firebolts. The team is probably well-renowned for their superb Chasers, having apparently crushed the Peruvian team in the Semi-Finals before taking on the Bulgarian team.

Ireland's mascots are Leprechauns.

Behind the scenes

J. K. Rowling showed that all the team members have names of friends of the author.
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, all seven players formed the mascot of one Leprechaun, instead of more than one spelling words.
For the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final the Irish team wore green robes, with each player's name embroidered in silver on the back.
